As wearable technology sees an industry boom, NASA-contracted group "Team Reno" has created a fully-functional PipBoy 3000 that provides users with numerous features including a sensor display, communications array, and geiger counter. What is more impressive is that the device was made by 3-D printing.

The device was created by the team of Colin Loretz, Ashley Hennefer, Andrew Warren, Christopher Baker, and Ben Hammel (collectively known as âTeam Renoâ). The device can sense relative humidity, altitude, latitude and longitude, atmospheric pressure, ambient temperature, and radiation.

The most impressive part is that this was designed as part of a 48-hour challenge with readily available components and a housing created using a Makerbot Replicator 2. The team is planning on also adding a bluetooth heart rate monitor.

there was a boy the other day wearing a watch that had four faces on and I asked him what does each face do and he said the first one tells the time and the one opposite it tells the time in America and the other one tells me the date and I asked him what does the fourth face do and he held up his hand and give me the finger

Not yet. But all of my family have very large, powerful children so I am looking forward to flooding the population with my own, advanced, version of the 'Like' generation. Plus I'm 26 and haven't met anyone who isn't crazy or boring yet. Et tu?
